Why SA's in MIDWINTER?

[Sunblock]

This particular lady whose daughter I respect a lot, was also extremely rude to me on race day. It wasn't the only time either.  Once on a downhill on the N1, she screamed at me that I would be disqualified if I went over the stippellyn again.  I guess I must have been the only rider to do it.

At provs she kept insisting I stand in line and then helping other people who arrived in front of me.  I confronted her at the table and she just ignored me.  As a result, valuable time went by and it was because we had so little time that I believe they said, look, it's too late, this guy can't race, we have other stuff to do. 

 

 So that was her component in it.

She also stood in on the meeting held that day, and I called her afterwards because I was quite sure she had protested anything that would have benefitted me that day.  I don't believe she did, having spoken to her on the phone, but I don't think she is quite off the hook either.  When I called her, I wanted to know why it was necessary to point out to me where I must stand, and yet she was helping everyone else.  She apologised for that, one to one with me, but wouldn't say anything else.  I asked her on the phone: Are you a human being?  Because I've just spoken for a long time and you have nothing to say in response each time except: take the issue up with your club.

 

It's this attitude that needs addressing, because it's not helpful.  That same lady took my time when we were just 5 cyclists practising the timetrial route back in April.  I know she's dedicated, but she ought to respect that I also go out there and do the work.

 

[Psycho]

She does, but you show NO RESPECT, even to those you refer to as friends..... but you know what, I've had enough of this.....

I'll see you at SA's...... jy kry hopeloos te veel publisiteit hier en eks seker jou blog kry ook skielik meer hits, so good for you......

Ek het my se gese, en wag vir een van die mense aan die ontvangkant van jou beledigings om hulle punt te kom stel, dat almal kan sien jy, seuntjie, is nie so onskuldig soos jy voorgee........

I find it odd that this lady (you speak/write of) is nice to everybody except you. It reminds me of the story of the guy who moved and asked somebody in his new neighborhood what the people are like in this neighborhood. The man asked the new guy what the people of his old neighborhood were like. The Guy replied: "They were all horrible people." To this the men replied that the new guy will also not like the new neighborhood.

Sunblock - I don't know you or most people on the hub, but judging by what you write on the hub, you might have to look at your attitude towards the world. Maybe the world will become a nicer place when you change your attitude.

[Sunblock]

I think you're forgetting that I'm not taking part at SA's.

I'm one of those people who believe respect has to be earned.  It's like someone said, you're only as fgood as your last race.  Why should respect be any different.  And obviously when people don't respect you, or treat you disrespectfully, it's easy to do the same thing back.  Most people know this.

[Sunblock]

Like I said, she did apologise to me, so perhaps you should get the story from the horses mouth, so to speak.  Even she will admit she didn't treat me the way she treats everyone else.  I think her case is a matter of falling into a habit or stereotype of expecting the worst from a stranger you don't know.  Most people here don't know me because I've been overseas or living in Cape Town for a number of years.  Only reason I came back was to be with my girlfriend, and closer to my family.

Well said poker face.......

1. First thing. Maybe she should have kept quiet. Then a truck can go over you!!

 

2. Yes, in line from the back, not from the side or behind. They had a lot to do. If everyone wants to stand where they want and order there race nrs. I would go mad if i had to help everyone like that!!

 

3. Don't make stuff up that suites you!! The officials can do nothing!! Was not up to them to make sure you had a lisence, it has to do with your club!!

 

4. How can she protest about it if the rules says you can't. The officials just appled the rules!! If they let you participate then next time there will be another guy and another....so it will never stop.

 

5. That is only what an official is allowed to do!!!!! You can only take it up with your club!!! They made a disicion at the race and after that you must have gone sort it out with your club, which you didn't

 

If you take this points i listed out, then i think you ought her your respect. She only did what she could!! Was not her fault and it was not up to her to sort it out with your club!!!

[Sunblock]

Thanks moderator.  But where were you when I was being personally attacked and my supposedly bad results posted everywhere?

[boela]

Want dit is koud. Dit is hoekom dit in Bloem gehou word.

[fatcyclist]

Sunblock: you like any other Hub user / member can pm any of the moderators at any time if you have a issue with a post...

 

[Sunblock]

Isn't it reasonable that you can also supervise what's happening without just responding to alerts?  I think the SUNBLOCK - LYK SOOS JOU RESULTATE was a persistent and deliberate attack.

I've been on other forums where there is much more intervention.  And there needs to be here.  I don't think name calling is very useful/constructive or frankly the intentions you guys had setting up the Hub.  It should be discouraged so that the people who had stuff to talk about can, otherwise it is a constant sidetracking and namecalling thing.
